Chicken Poxs Boys






October couldn't go out quietly with out first having the 3 youngest get Chicken Pox. They all started with in a day of each other so we got it over quickly. They all tolerated it quite well even though they did get bored with it after a few days.
Here are some pictures just as they were breaking out. They got worse then this before they got better.

October Apple Picking!











This was actually our second apple picking trip. The first one was at Lone Maple Farm in Binghamton where we went on a tractor ride and went through a corn maze. This was more of a tourist place. Our second trip was to a farm in Leonardsville. That is where these pictures are from. We picked 3 bushels of mostly Cortland Apples. We ate a lot of them and made several batches of applesauce. This was a fun family project.

Bill's Birthday (September)





Here we celebrate Bill's birthday!! My birthday (Annmarie's) is this month but I somehow didn't get any pictures of it. My hubby did take me away for two nights to Lancaster for a weekend shopping trip and special time together!

In Honor of Tyler's 16 Birthday (in August 2007)







My sister was in for a visit and we were discussing that I had not updated my blog since summer. So I am started where I think I left off.

This post is in honor of Tyler's 16th birthday. He is a tremendous blessing from heaven. He is very special to our family. He is rare among teens that enjoys being with his parents and plays with his younger siblings (as demonstrated in one of the photos.) (To those reading too much into this, he has friends his own age too, that are special to him.) He is turning into a responsible young adult, and we give all glory to God!
